As mentioned at various points throughout this video, this is not the completed setup! I obviously don't intend on using a $300 amp with an iPhone + MP3s. I have other components on the way (thought I was clear about this in the video). The intent of this video is simply an unboxing and first impressions, please view / comment accordingly.
I'm actually happily surprised by how much research you obviously put into this before the video, and your understanding of the scenario you used in the video. People are just lame and like to look past the extremely in-your-face explanations in the video. I've been looking for some sub-$500 headphone amps and will definitely be looking into these in a few weeks.
Unbox Therapy If you want the whole "warm" sound you should wait 'til the valves get warmer. I personally love the warm sound of the tubes, that sound drive me back in the time. Great vid!
3 flaws. 1. The tubes need to warm up before testing, so you should have had another player hooked up to the amplifier for about 10-15 minutes before listening through it. 2. The headphones are a bit to lowfi to really benefit from the difference. 3. The best way to get everything out of the tubes would be to use an analog source for sound, like HQ tapes or vinyl(Or at least uncompressed audio.). But sure it makes for a slight difference anyways, but this setting was really off for the purpose of testing out a tube headphone amplifier.
Hey, just a tip: When using devices in a chain you can demonstrate the effect of the device by running a file through it in an effect loop between your PCs out and inputs and record it. This, of course, does not simulate the player or playback device, but it does work pretty well for demonstrating amplifiers or effects(I use the direct output from my amplifier when I record, and it sounds good even after digitalization. I also use an amazing pedal called the warped vinyl as preamp to "analogize" everything). It's a misconception that analog sounds are better than digital ones, rather analog typically has a very subtle but effective tone coloration going on that will stay in the file, even in mp3 format. Long story short, you could easily have demonstrated the effect of the preamp to your viewers, simply by recording it.
Tubes definitely have a break in period. My 12AX7s changed tremendously over a few days as they were broken in. But, once that occurs, generally like you say a few minutes of on time should be enough to warm them up.
I barely know who this guy is, but he seems a lot better in these older videos. Calmer and more informative, like a real tech channel, while in the newer videos he's just screaming and trying to be funny as if he's targeting a much younger audiance
Isn't it rather a remix of kanye's Drive Slow since he uses a lot of kanye's instrumentals in multiple videos or at least a remix of it. He used another remix of a kanye beat later in this video too ;) Guess it doesn't really matter though, alot of rappers use the same samples and the real original song never gets credit. Tupac actually also has a song with the sample which J. Cole and Kanye used in Dreams and Drive Slow
Found your channel and been watching some of your newer videos. Only gone by suggestions rather than trawling your video collection, this is the first old one I've seen. MUCH better than your newer ones. Go back to being calmer brah.
as an audiophile for the past 30 years I can tell you that the quality of the RCA cables matters greatly as I noticed the ones used wasn't even gold plated...but all the same I love your channel dude.
generally , if music seems brighter on tube amps , is related to the loss of low end audio . most tube amp need huge , high priced transformers to play low frequent music . so , if they are not visible , do not expect good low end performance .
Takes good amp/decent headphones, then plugs into iPod with compressed, shit audio. I know, I know, typical consumer, etc....BUT, this amp is not designed for typical consumer, it is designed for people who are picky about their audio and wanting a certain sound, and who will NOT plug their iPhone into it because they will use a good/clean/un-raped source.
And how do you know the file is badly compressed on his phone? You never saw or heard it, you just automatically call it shit because you're an elitist audiosnob.
Behind TheWall From one of his other Vids...he said what he uses, don't remember which one. I am not an "elitist", I just have experienced the difference, and have equipment that ALLOWS me to hear the difference. Just because someone is not happy with the poor quality bullshit that most other people are (especially the younger generations), doesn't make me anything but someone who enjoys good sound, and LISTENING to their music. And if you are NOT someone "like me", then you are completely wasting your money on things like this, and are buying it for reasons that make you more of a snob than you could EVER label me.
I remember the first time I played New Super Mario Brothers with earphones. There was so much more to hear in the music with those than the rickety old DS lite speakers. My earphones weren't even that good, but they opened up a whole new world of sound to me which I will never forget. This darkvoice looks amazing and I can only dream of what these new gen gadgets sound like. Sweet video ;-)
It looks pretty cheap, yeah I know it's $300+ and it is metal but come' on.. all the logos are tilted and the text isnt even in the middle. These are some little things that make it a stereotypical chinese product.
Some info: don't touch the valves using your hands: sodium from your sweat will go thtu the glass and react with the gas inside the valve - use a glove or a cloth. Also, tube amps are "warmer" because their distortion are on the 2nd and 4th harmonics - which means one and two octaves above. That makes for a fuller sound on small loudspeakers. I like it - but that is personal on a time when near zero distortion can be achieved with inexpensive tripath amps.
+xXx_illuminati_overload_xXx yep I noticed the exact same thing. He showed us the back and the red was without a doubt on the bottom. he then proceeded to plug the red in the white.
@@daath1442 yep, he did everything in his power, to keep it as low-fi as possible. Stock DAC, stock Cables, Spotify 128 kbps sound files, "old school hip hop beat" Lmao.... Stock Headphone... Also he used a low-impedance headphone with an OTL amp... Dear lord, you should not hook that amp up with anything less than 300 ohms .. ^^ OTL amps noisefloor raises exponentially the lower impedance load is.. at 50 ohm, you could barely power the headphone, and the hum and hiss is very audible..
You gotta leave the valve (heat tube) to heat up a little bit longer to enable great sound from this valve Amplifier. The more heat the better sound coming out from it.
so much going on there. the pic.....the name.......the comment that does not quite makes sense. bet you have a neck beard and a pic of you with your sword on facebook.
I thought this would be a thing that made your voice really deep and cool sounding. Like this gas called sulphur hexafluoride it has an effect which is basically the opposite of helium.
but that's to do with frequency inclusion. Although I guess they should've used spotify or deezer (higher fequency included due to the greater rate) with Bob Dylan it wouldn't have helped much
+Macusercom Depends on compression, 64kbs with .AAC compression almost sounds like CD quality, while the same bitrate in MP3 sounds like a 20 year old take recording under a pile of moist leaves.
Not sure if this was pointed out already, but your channels were flipped when you plugged in the headphone to RCA White (L) into the R Amp input and the RCA Red (R) into the L Amp input. The soundfield will come out flipped when doing the A/B comparison.
The truth is, Digital is actually *supposed* to be higher quality, but mixing and mastering techniques have gotten really lazy and lack polish these days, because it's easier to just squash the shit out of the song rather than refine it. The problem isn't the Digital Age, it's the Digital Mentality.
dropkickproductiontx The tools for mastering have refined over the years... sadly, majority of the people who use them do it in ways that just make Vinyl look like it should be kept on sale.
Audiophiles have known the sound quality of tube amps for a long long time. It will be hard to change the habits of young consumers that haven't a clue to what their missing. Tube amps separate each instrument as if you were there live. Glad to see someone is putting this old school technology out there. You were impressed. Draw back....$$$$$
Not in you work in the Music industry (Like I do) Or you just like listening to high quality audio. What you are saying is like saying why would you buy a HDTV you don't need it but it enhances the experience.
I would always say, that if you want to listen to music as the band/artist/engineers intended, don't use a valve amp - completely pointless. It will colour the sound. Analogue is not warmer. It's a nonsense. Vinyl as a format will inherently have a very different sound to a CD/mp3/whatever, providing the original recording was onto tape. It's a great sound, no doubt, for whatever reason you choose to believe, and it's as close to what was being listened to (on tape - if it was recorded to tape) in the studio as you can get at home, but the whole analogue amp thing is silly. In my opinion. A valve changes the sound. In many ways it would be like being given a blu-ray film, and the first thing you did was load it into final cut or avid, and changed a whole bunch of visual things. Why would you? The people who made this work have already mixed and mastered it to sound like they wanted, with not a valve/tube in sight. Do them the respect of listening to it as they wanted.
buddinmaplestory The mix engineers made the music as "warm" as they wanted - they, the musicians, the mastering engineers, they made the decisions. A valve changes what they wanted you to hear. Why would you want it warmer? Why is warmer better? It's a nonsense.
You call something nonsense after writting a totally ignorant and nonsensical comment like that? I love it when people come up with theories of how "tube amps color the sound" but ignore the obvious facts that speakers / headphones highly color the sound, your room colors the sound if you use speakers, you earlobes color the sound depending on their shape and size, ear canals color the sound differently from person to person, physiology, neurophysiology of hearing differs a bit from person to person, psychoacoustics plays a big role in it as well, all amplifiers slightly color the sound, A/D and D/A converters slightly color the sound...even cables can sometimes color the sound. What kind of carpet or curtains you have in a room can drastically change the sound of the room. EVERYTHING colors the sound. The point is to find a combination of colorations between all these parts that end up sounding best to you. I really struggle to understand why some people don't get this, and why it's not as clear as a day to everyone out there who talks down on tube amps. You will NEVER EVER get exactly what is on the recording. Not even a studio that made the recording can reproduce exactly what's on the recording they've made, because their equipment colors the sound too. So stop pretending to be one of those ridiculous purists who refuse to listen to anything that's not "neutral" in their mind, even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with neutrality.
So we got to listen to you flap your mouth, and watch you listen to music on headphones? you couldn't plug the output into your recording equipment? I WANT MY 13 MINUTES BACK.
"WTF IS A DARKVOICE?".... Well *Schiit*, It ain't no Asgard 2, that's for *Shure*. Btw you said, "To bring back some of that warmth, that individuals used to get on analogue audio" Audio you listen to is analogue that why you have dac's.
I think most of guys that say this is a waste of money are kids that listen comercial music or now-a-days shit electronic music (like most dubstep or trap songs, shitty club music). If you really enjoy quality music and want more from your music, or a new experience for relaxation, I think this thing is good for that. Anyways, I don't know how many people really care about sound..
Australia has got a terrible music reputation at the moment, its all like any house and trance mostly stuff like deep and prog house. And I'm just over here like where's the Nu disco?
The amp wasn't plugged in or used before that, so it was actually pretty safe for both the tubes and him. He didn't risk getting shocked which is the main thing about placing tubes in the amp. Plus you're not touching any of the electronics in the actual tube, so it's okay. I can understand the concern though.
thundavolt good to know :) I mean the oils from your skin shouldn't be enough to really compromise the glass. Unless you just ate some nice, greasy food or are constantly touching the tubes. So I still don't really see the REAL danger in that.
for sound accuracy no. but for colouration yes they are the best. it depends on what you like really I prefer a less accurate but warmer sound from tube Amps. some others don't. but hen some others forget that the reason why many do this is ton enjoy their audio better
+MrBratkenSolov Especially with guitar players, it doesn't even has something to do with "audiophiles"; While tube amps for Hifi are usually just a slight upgrade (if you prefer the tone) to a good solid state amp; but for guitar amps, tube amplifiers are worlds apart from their solid state counterparts. If you can affort it, you would be stupid to not get a good tube amp.
Obbliteration not if you are smart about buying. I do find the whole thing worth it so far. It's just like how ppl still watch movies at theatres even if u can just watch the dvd at home, it's for the experience u get with their high end sound systems and high def film.
well wouldn't that be completely useless unless you got the same thing plugged in at home while watching this video? As the audio is made digital because of the recording? Yeah.....
audiophiles are likely ripping their hair out watching this video. Also just FYI, the LG V10 has 32 bit HI-FI DAC if you're looking for a phone with high quality output.
+twistdshade audiophiles are the most douch people in the tech community. You literally can't say anything about audio quality these days without getting run over by some audiophile man child. Jesus if you want a in depth review of some kind of HiFi equipment good read a detailed review...
+Jealius EU I'm a bit of an audio enthusiast. I do appreciate good audio quality, I'm able to tell the difference between good and bad audio equipment, I just don't run around spending hundreds of dollars on the stuff. so no, I'm not an audiophile if that's what you're implying here.
+twistdshade I do like good sound quality myself and has a pair of beyerdynamic, but i dont feel the need to talk trash to people who are fine with a normal cheap headset.
All you need as prober player for an amp like this is any good quality 192 KHz 24-bit USB soundcard, and then Foobar2000 as software player .......... and you'll be fine.
3:34 He connected the channels the wrong way around for god sake, he had one job! This video isn't that good. Let's get a real audiophile on the show, that actually knows what he's doing.
I'm not going to say running your music through a tube amp won't affect the sound at the end because that would be a lie. But what it will do is adds compression (bad in this application as it reduces the dynamic range) and change the EQ (usually scooping mids) but most smartphones allow you to do that anyway and you can fine tune them where as you have a set EQ using a tube amp. Analogue isn't always better, a pressed lp won't be perfect compared to the mold and will wear out but 1s and 0s will be perfect and won't wear out.
If you could read the manual the first line says: Don't touch the glass tubes with your bare fingers. Oils from your fingers can make the tube explode when they heat up.
That's exactly what these amps are designed for. He used an amplifier to amplify a 32 ohm source with a 32 ohm set of headphones. In this circumstance the best thing an amp could do for you is lower distortion at very high volume, even then it depends on the headphones.
I have the Schiit Lyr (original) which is a type of hybrid i like alot. It's got a little more clinical control than pure tube/vale amp. Subjectively diferent people may like or dislike that quality. I just found out there is a version 2, interesting.
the rca cables that you connected from the Dark voice to your phone were basic rca's and mono in a sense. They weren't gold plated so actually you may not have experienced the real sounds via the Dark voice because of that.
Streaming a sond on soundcloud?? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??? You used the word "audiophile" so you should know at least about stuff like FLAC or how music is meant to be played with such a tubeamp: Lossless!! Stop doing such reviews if you dont know a thing about the topic!
TheEscape2012 You're dumb. Its not a review, its an unboxing video. Its not about HIFI, its about whats the difference... Anyway, FLAC is not completly losless. WAV is.
aflac82 Actually, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) IS completely lossless, as well as ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) and other similar codecs. While they compress the data, the uncompressed file when played is identical to the source.
D2therJ RCA itself is simply a connector, the signal sent through it its analogue so it really doesn't affect the quality unless there is poor quality equipment on either end or a dodgy connector/cable. A properly shielded RCA cable would be better but otherwise this is fine.
iPods can't do lossless audio. All you get is an amp, which is a good step, but you are not hearing the full range. I use a Fiio with my Note5, flac audio at a really good rate and it makes old studio reference recordings so real.
Tube amps are kinda for hipsters tbh ...all those "audiophiles" swearing by them not realizing all they do is distort the sound. They pay hundreds to get "balanced" (horribly shitty, baseless, flat sounding) earphones/IEMS etc ... then they will add a 1000$ tube amp and distort the boring flat sound, so they can sit around a table listen to one or two tracks and act like that was some mind blowing experience when a decent phone (with a descent DAC) a good pair of headphones or IEMS .. (hell even chinese ultra budget IEMS are insanely good nowadays ... take a look at the Zircon rock, for 8 fuckng euro) you'd get the same if not almost the same experience
MOSFET amplifiers of good quality will have the same characteristics as tubes. Both tube and MOSFET devices have very high input impedance, and much lower output impedance. Tubes (Called Valves in the UK) are higher in odd harmonic distortion compared to regular solid state devices such as transistors. Most modern solid state amplifier devices of decent quality are using MOSFET devices for handling the audio path. MOSFET and tube devices tend to make for soft clipping in the case of peaks in the signal being slightly over modulated. This allows for some forgiving with distortion in the sound that is on the edge of clipping. The sound from the tube amplifier may should wider because the dynamic range on the tube amplifier is very high. Also the designer may be using more inverse feedback in attempt to reduce harmonics, and increase slew rate. The quality of the sound cannot exceed the source. If the source from the computer or CD player, or whatever is used has poor characteristics, this cannot be fixed. It may be possible to mask some distortions to some degree. Just to mention... All sound that we can hear must be analog. Digital sound must be processed using a D to A converter (digital to audio converter). We cannot hear binary sound! Tubes use high voltage to run. The heaters in the tubes boil off electrons from the cathode. Heater temperature can typically get up to 1200 F to 1400 F on the cathode. Depending on the required voltage for particular tubes and signal demand can be in the rage from about 160 volts up to over 600 Volts. Most pre-amp devices like the one shown may typically be working in the 350 Volt range. The electrons are attracted to the high voltage at the plate. There is a control grid to act as a valve control to be able to modulate or control the electron flow along its path, and thus work as a valve to use the high voltage side to amplify the effect. Many types of tubes have additional grids such as a screen grid and an accelerator grid. These grids are used to boost and or control the electron flow even more. The design is complex to explain in a description. If you have a tube amplifier and it requires service, send it out to a qualified service center. These are dangerous for the do-it-yourself-er to try to service, and most likely you will not have success unless you really know what you are doing and have the sources for replacement parts. The high voltage used in tube circuits can pack a decent punch, and can be "deadly". I am sort of on the old side. Back in the 1960, I was working in audio and video, and power supply circuit design. Much of what I was working with in the lab was tube. during the late 60's they started with hybrid design where they were using both solid state and tube together to get the best of both. From my point of view the modern MOSFET and FET devices can do anything a tube can do. Using tubes is more of a novelty. Tubes over time will degrade and have to be replaced. Solid state devices will normally have very little degrading until they completely fail, or for some time before full failure.
These chinese "tube maps" is bordering a scam. rip it open and trace it out - In a lot of cases the tubs aren't even in the signal chain or used as a buffer in the preamp stage doing virtually nothing. Im not saying it's the case here but there's every reason to be skeptical. That aside, the whole premise of using tubes in hifi appliances is BS. Designing and producing good sounding tube amps is very very difficult. In most cases, modern mosfet tech is superior in every way. The only sane appliance of tubes is in instrument amps. For all the ppl buying into audiophoolery BS a tour in a professional recording studio would be an eye opener. You know whats better than 500 $ monster cables? 10 $ balanced XLR cables...

you should also let the amp warm up for a couple of hours before listening to it otherwise you wont get the full sound quality.
Only a couple minutes,
hours aren't needed.
if its a brand new amp then id say at least an hour, especially as its valve.
Tubes definitely have a break in period. My 12AX7s changed tremendously over a few days as they were broken in. But, once that occurs, generally like you say a few minutes of on time should be enough to warm them up.
They way you typed it makes it seem like you have to let it warm up for "HOURS" every time you turn it on

Then you should know better my friend. The oil from your hands stays on it even when it's cold. Then when you turn it on it burns it on to the tube
This one probably doesn't run hot enough anyways

Actually the darkvoice is one of the greatest tube amps out there and is preferred my most audiophiles do to its very bassy sound
i thought its bass was recessed at the cost of soundstage

The Darkvoice is a bad tube amp, the cheapest quality OTL tube amp you can get is the LittleDot Mk1/2/3...
Some info: don't touch the valves using your hands: sodium from your sweat will go thtu the glass and react with the gas inside the valve - use a glove or a cloth. Also, tube amps are "warmer" because their distortion are on the 2nd and 4th harmonics - which means one and two octaves above. That makes for a fuller sound on small loudspeakers. I like it - but that is personal on a time when near zero distortion can be achieved with inexpensive tripath amps.
Love the 3 dollar RCA cables
John Walsh had a giggle too...
And how he puts the red in the white and white in red
+xXx_illuminati_overload_xXx yep I noticed the exact same thing. He showed us the back and the red was without a doubt on the bottom. he then proceeded to plug the red in the white.
+John Walsh those cables would have ruined the sound well before it even got to that shitty ass amp.
3:41 the rca cables are plugged into the wrong corresponding color #triggered
lmao and basic rca cables that cost 4 dollar.
@@daath1442 yep, he did everything in his power, to keep it as low-fi as possible.
Stock DAC, stock Cables, Spotify 128 kbps sound files, "old school hip hop beat" Lmao....
Stock Headphone...
Also he used a low-impedance headphone with an OTL amp... Dear lord, you should not hook that amp up with anything less than 300 ohms .. ^^ OTL amps noisefloor raises exponentially the lower impedance load is.. at 50 ohm, you could barely power the headphone, and the hum and hiss is very audible..
You gotta leave the valve (heat tube) to heat up a little bit longer to enable great sound from this valve Amplifier. The more heat the better sound coming out from it.
I've just gotten the point where I hit the thumbs up at the beginning. Might as well get it out of the way.
Same
Amen to that

so much going on there. the pic.....the name.......the comment that does not quite makes sense. bet you have a neck beard and a pic of you with your sword on facebook.

Thank You!
No Problem! Thought somebody would want to know! :)
Thanks!
thank you!
Digital music does lack that "Warmth" i miss from older music....thanks for showing me this, might grab one if i can afford it x3
I thought the Darkvoice was Morgan Freeman.
same XD
Yoooooooo, I like that background music. Dreams by J. Cole :D
+anarchyknife yeah i noticed that too
+anarchyknife Drive Slow - Kanye West used the sample in the beginning if i am remembering correctly.
+Dustin Hannah you're right. Kanye sampled the beat on "Good Morning" from the album "Graduation" in 2007
+henry alton a good excuse to revisit graduation, but this sample was used in drive slow i just relistened
I thought this would be a thing that made your voice really deep and cool sounding. Like this gas called sulphur hexafluoride it has an effect which is basically the opposite of helium.
And then you use 128 kb/sec. and feel ripped off :D
but that's to do with frequency inclusion. Although I guess they should've used spotify or deezer (higher fequency included due to the greater rate) with Bob Dylan it wouldn't have helped much
+Macusercom Depends on compression, 64kbs with .AAC compression almost sounds like CD quality, while the same bitrate in MP3 sounds like a 20 year old take recording under a pile of moist leaves.
Galvanized Dreamer yh but even youtube is 128, 320 though is where the difference is almost impossible .
I already have a $1000 audio/video receiver with a built-in amp from the late 1980s that I use regularly. Would the Darkvoice sound any different?
AtlasVulpes Depends, Most receiver's from that era are really gems and made in much higher quality than modern amp's
+Joop Roukens
really
yes those analog receivers have awesome sound! but do you listen too headphones, stereo or dolby?
Joop Roukens
I listen through a pair of Skullcandy Crushers.
+AtlasVulpes kinda funny that your amp is so expensive but then you are listening to skull candys
Not sure if this was pointed out already, but your channels were flipped when you plugged in the headphone to RCA White (L) into the R Amp input and the RCA Red (R) into the L Amp input. The soundfield will come out flipped when doing the A/B comparison.
The truth is, Digital is actually *supposed* to be higher quality, but mixing and mastering techniques have gotten really lazy and lack polish these days, because it's easier to just squash the shit out of the song rather than refine it. The problem isn't the Digital Age, it's the Digital Mentality.
dropkickproductiontx The tools for mastering have refined over the years... sadly, majority of the people who use them do it in ways that just make Vinyl look like it should be kept on sale.
Is that "Drive Slow" by Kanye in the background?
+LWGArcade and good morning
I think its dreams by j cole
Same sample different songs
Audiophiles have known the sound quality of tube amps for a long long time. It will be hard to change the habits of young consumers that haven't a clue to what their missing.
Tube amps separate each instrument as if you were there live. Glad to see someone is putting this old school technology out there. You were impressed. Draw back....$$$$$
Looks like a pretty needless Device
Ha, this dweeb
every gadget it fucking needless you dork.
we get this shit because we want it not need it. god dayummmm
yeah i already knew lol? thanks for spoiling it for anyone that isnt up to date, what an ass hole.
Mikasa Ackerman self centred bitch, would you honestly pay for this device? Yes it is really cool, but it seems to fulfill little purpose.
Not in you work in the Music industry (Like I do) Or you just like listening to high quality audio. What you are saying is like saying why would you buy a HDTV you don't need it but it enhances the experience.
Thought it was a deep morgan freeman narrator voice that i could follow my ex around with
but I love watching your videos and admiring the things you unbox
I would always say, that if you want to listen to music as the band/artist/engineers intended, don't use a valve amp - completely pointless. It will colour the sound.
Analogue is not warmer. It's a nonsense. Vinyl as a format will inherently have a very different sound to a CD/mp3/whatever, providing the original recording was onto tape. It's a great sound, no doubt, for whatever reason you choose to believe, and it's as close to what was being listened to (on tape - if it was recorded to tape) in the studio as you can get at home, but the whole analogue amp thing is silly. In my opinion.
A valve changes the sound. In many ways it would be like being given a blu-ray film, and the first thing you did was load it into final cut or avid, and changed a whole bunch of visual things. Why would you? The people who made this work have already mixed and mastered it to sound like they wanted, with not a valve/tube in sight. Do them the respect of listening to it as they wanted.
Valve/Tube amps were made to be warmer, whereas solid state amplifiers are less warm by nature.
buddinmaplestory The mix engineers made the music as "warm" as they wanted - they, the musicians, the mastering engineers, they made the decisions. A valve changes what they wanted you to hear. Why would you want it warmer? Why is warmer better? It's a nonsense.
You call something nonsense after writting a totally ignorant and nonsensical comment like that? I love it when people come up with theories of how "tube amps color the sound" but ignore the obvious facts that speakers / headphones highly color the sound, your room colors the sound if you use speakers, you earlobes color the sound depending on their shape and size, ear canals color the sound differently from person to person, physiology, neurophysiology of hearing differs a bit from person to person, psychoacoustics plays a big role in it as well, all amplifiers slightly color the sound, A/D and D/A converters slightly color the sound...even cables can sometimes color the sound. What kind of carpet or curtains you have in a room can drastically change the sound of the room. EVERYTHING colors the sound. The point is to find a combination of colorations between all these parts that end up sounding best to you. I really struggle to understand why some people don't get this, and why it's not as clear as a day to everyone out there who talks down on tube amps. You will NEVER EVER get exactly what is on the recording. Not even a studio that made the recording can reproduce exactly what's on the recording they've made, because their equipment colors the sound too. So stop pretending to be one of those ridiculous purists who refuse to listen to anything that's not "neutral" in their mind, even though it has nothing whatsoever to do with neutrality.
derbigpr500"It's difficult to reproduce sound accurately, so don't bother". Nice one, great thought process there.
Malc180s At least it is better than yours. Also you didn't quote properly

"WTF IS A DARKVOICE?".... Well *Schiit*, It ain't no Asgard 2, that's for *Shure*. Btw you said, "To bring back some of that warmth, that individuals used to get on analogue audio" Audio you listen to is analogue that why you have dac's.
dont touch the glass unless with gloves
I know it burns your finger oils onto the glass but does it really change how they perform?
+PaperStax In theory it reduces their life. The oils on the glass will become a hot spot.
Well there you go +PaperStax. Finger em all you want lol
Hahahha i was just screaming that to the tv
I love the sound from older CRT televisions better than the speakers integrated into modern HD TV
I think most of guys that say this is a waste of money are kids that listen comercial music or now-a-days shit electronic music (like most dubstep or trap songs, shitty club music). If you really enjoy quality music and want more from your music, or a new experience for relaxation, I think this thing is good for that. Anyways, I don't know how many people really care about sound..
***** Electronic music is good, I listen too, but nowadays, there are so many bad songs, sadly :(
Le wrong generation amirite? XD
Jared Kruschev Hip hop sucks donkeyballs
Rem ko Name a few hip hop artists you think make the genre bad.
Australia has got a terrible music reputation at the moment, its all like any house and trance mostly stuff like deep and prog house. And I'm just over here like where's the Nu disco?
don't think it's good for the tubes to be touched with bare hands!
The amp wasn't plugged in or used before that, so it was actually pretty safe for both the tubes and him. He didn't risk getting shocked which is the main thing about placing tubes in the amp. Plus you're not touching any of the electronics in the actual tube, so it's okay. I can understand the concern though.
The grease from your fingers transfers to the the glass. As the glass heats up the grease melts makes it more likely for the glass to crack.
thundavolt good to know :) I mean the oils from your skin shouldn't be enough to really compromise the glass. Unless you just ate some nice, greasy food or are constantly touching the tubes. So I still don't really see the REAL danger in that.
Hayden Groover The glass is typically more fragile that your regular light bulb.
Actually the glass is quite a bit thicker than a lightbulb.
You must be very impressed w this, Cuz its first time you dont shout but actually talking and explaining. 👍✌️😀
Nothing is better than tubes. Thats why I only use Marshall tube driven heads.
for sound accuracy no. but for colouration yes they are the best. it depends on what you like really I prefer a less accurate but warmer sound from tube Amps. some others don't. but hen some others forget that the reason why many do this is ton enjoy their audio better
+Wood Heat lol audiophiles :D you funny
+MrBratkenSolov Especially with guitar players, it doesn't even has something to do with "audiophiles"; While tube amps for Hifi are usually just a slight upgrade (if you prefer the tone) to a good solid state amp; but for guitar amps, tube amplifiers are worlds apart from their solid state counterparts. If you can affort it, you would be stupid to not get a good tube amp.
Behemothokun
100% agree. Nothing compares to a tube head and a Les Paul.
Behemothokun if you can't afford a guitar one making them is still a thing harder and easy to screw up but can save you a massive load of money
Omigod there no need to buy a friggin brick to make my music alive
***** Being an audiophile is stupid
Obbliteration not if you are smart about buying. I do find the whole thing worth it so far. It's just like how ppl still watch movies at theatres even if u can just watch the dvd at home, it's for the experience u get with their high end sound systems and high def film.
Wow. his attitude was different. No over-acting, just straight reviews. Damn you bend gate!
Who's watching in 2016
who cares?
mah
Exactly no one fucking cares. People like you are CANCER on fucking youtube.
oh oh okay, bro don't take it too far man, if you want cancer, go watch dramaalert, once you do i guarantee you'll aapologize
whats wrong with dramaalert?
What's the name of the song that starts at 8:27??
Watching in 2016, His video quality has gone up so much. He doesn't get lost in sentences and repeat shit over and over.
So 13 minutes and we don't even get to hear what it sounds like?
I agree this isn't a good review unless I get to hear it. Please send me the amp and I will thumbs up the video.
well wouldn't that be completely useless unless you got the same thing plugged in at home while watching this video? As the audio is made digital because of the recording? Yeah.....
You got to see the tubes glow.
+TheRainbowPilot not a review anyway
if he did, you would STILL be listening to it thru your OWN speakers and might comment that there's no difference at all. Just saying.
Did he not clean off the tubes after touching them with his bare, oily hands?
Whatever else it changes (or doesn't change), that thing is cool-lookin'.
what's the song called at 8:40 ?
thx

audiophiles are likely ripping their hair out watching this video. Also just FYI, the LG V10 has 32 bit HI-FI DAC if you're looking for a phone with high quality output.
Looks like he already has
+twistdshade audiophiles are the most douch people in the tech community. You literally can't say anything about audio quality these days without getting run over by some audiophile man child. Jesus if you want a in depth review of some kind of HiFi equipment good read a detailed review...
+Jealius EU I'm a bit of an audio enthusiast. I do appreciate good audio quality, I'm able to tell the difference between good and bad audio equipment, I just don't run around spending hundreds of dollars on the stuff. so no, I'm not an audiophile if that's what you're implying here.
twistdshade sure think i just see a lot of HiFi people talk smack to everyone who doesn't care to much about sound quality.
+twistdshade I do like good sound quality myself and has a pair of beyerdynamic, but i dont feel the need to talk trash to people who are fine with a normal cheap headset.
time really flies, I remember when this video hit my sub box.
All you need as prober player for an amp like this is any good quality 192 KHz 24-bit USB soundcard, and then Foobar2000 as software player .......... and you'll be fine.
Uses multiple high quality items... and has an iPhone.
Facepalm
at least it isn't plastic
+Cheesyverse YET......
Faisal Almalki Plastic wouldn't keep a bend like aluminium
If it is a durable plastic that doesn't crack like APS then yes, much better than bendable aluminium.....
thought the same thing DJ Cans on a Tube amp :) and I-phone like putting a Bugatti engines in a VW bug
dude I feel u on that I love all of the small back ground music and I could use that to plug into my homemade water proof speaker
One does not handle Hi-Fi tubes with the fingers. The oil from your fingers! The OIL!!!!
It really doesn't matter that much. Relax.

BlueBetaPro
Your balance tuna has no obstruction until the bright flavored cap flips.
I'm not going to say running your music through a tube amp won't affect the sound at the end because that would be a lie. But what it will do is adds compression (bad in this application as it reduces the dynamic range) and change the EQ (usually scooping mids) but most smartphones allow you to do that anyway and you can fine tune them where as you have a set EQ using a tube amp. Analogue isn't always better, a pressed lp won't be perfect compared to the mold and will wear out but 1s and 0s will be perfect and won't wear out.
3:36 "DONOT OPEN" wtf!?! lol
And why are "INPUT" and "OUTPUT" printed in different font?
All it needs is a *MADE IN CHINA* lol
It's a DV unit, so there are some things like that :P
I thought I was the only one who noticed that
Buy an analog headphones amplifier adn test it with some crapy 256kbps mp3 and a Iphone that compress the sound ... /clap very slowly
Honestly i cant hear the difference between 256 and 320 or even 450kpbs
because you don't doesn't mean nobody does
Good point, My ears are mildly bad.
jose guerrero and so you are, classy gentlemen
there is a reason for the size of a great amp like the dark voice, just ask yourself why
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably not the first video that you want potential subscribers to see.
Why do we care what's in your fridge is that seriously a thing now?!
this was 2 years ago..
Please tell me you're not that fucking dumb.
wait what
whats the music at 8:27 ?
Good Morning - Kanye West
thx
LICUIDATOR It's actually Sugar by DonProducci.
It's actually Taken from Kanye West, as already stated, and he took it From Elton john.
If you could read the manual the first line says: Don't touch the glass tubes with your bare fingers. Oils from your fingers can make the tube explode when they heat up.
Should have used MUCH higher end headphones for this, $800 plus
That's exactly what these amps are designed for. He used an amplifier to amplify a 32 ohm source with a 32 ohm set of headphones. In this circumstance the best thing an amp could do for you is lower distortion at very high volume, even then it depends on the headphones.
And you should have a million dollar car.
***** You'd be surprised at how many people spend over a grand on their headphones, and much more money on the amps and DACs.
I prefer schiit audio. I have the Asgard 2
Hahaha schiit.
I also have the Asgard 2.
I have the Schiit Lyr (original) which is a type of hybrid i like alot. It's got a little more clinical control than pure tube/vale amp. Subjectively diferent people may like or dislike that quality. I just found out there is a version 2, interesting.
Schiit is better.
the rca cables that you connected from the Dark voice to your phone were basic rca's and mono in a sense. They weren't gold plated so actually you may not have experienced the real sounds via the Dark voice because of that.
AHHHH THE J COLE BEATTTT
Sam STS which song?
song is Dreams on J. Coles The Warm Up mixtape

What's the second beat in this video? It's so familiar but I can't seem to remember which on it is.

I love your channel, bro!
Streaming a sond on soundcloud?? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???
You used the word "audiophile" so you should know at least about stuff like FLAC or how music is meant to be played with such a tubeamp: Lossless!!
Stop doing such reviews if you dont know a thing about the topic!
He isn't an audiophile
It was painful to watch for my ears.
TheEscape2012 You're dumb. Its not a review, its an unboxing video. Its not about HIFI, its about whats the difference...
Anyway, FLAC is not completly losless.
WAV is.
aflac82 And it makes not a single flying fuck of a difference
aflac82 Actually, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) IS completely lossless, as well as ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) and other similar codecs.
While they compress the data, the uncompressed file when played is identical to the source.
2015
RCA
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
D2therJ RCA itself is simply a connector, the signal sent through it its analogue so it really doesn't affect the quality unless there is poor quality equipment on either end or a dodgy connector/cable. A properly shielded RCA cable would be better but otherwise this is fine.
Carbon Toast It's 2015, there's no excuse to not be using XLR. Unless the hardware is ancient and doesn't have that port.
Carbon Toast Just again, I wasn't attacking the host for using RCA. But the product.
***** My point exactly, this is gear aimed at audiophiles. It makes no sense why they'd ship with RCA other than to cut costs.
***** Nah, it's blatant cost cutting.
iPods can't do lossless audio. All you get is an amp, which is a good step, but you are not hearing the full range. I use a Fiio with my Note5, flac audio at a really good rate and it makes old studio reference recordings so real.
So you TALK about an audio device, but NEVER let us hear it on this video?!? There's a "major malfunction" between your ears.
Tube amps are kinda for hipsters tbh ...all those "audiophiles" swearing by them not realizing all they do is distort the sound. They pay hundreds to get "balanced" (horribly shitty, baseless, flat sounding) earphones/IEMS etc ... then they will add a 1000$ tube amp and distort the boring flat sound, so they can sit around a table listen to one or two tracks and act like that was some mind blowing experience when a decent phone (with a descent DAC) a good pair of headphones or IEMS .. (hell even chinese ultra budget IEMS are insanely good nowadays ... take a look at the Zircon rock, for 8 fuckng euro) you'd get the same if not almost the same experience
Frequency saturation is not distortion. You sound angry and ignorant.
you are angry and dont know what you talking about.
+Tim The Aussie Well said. You said everything I was going to....and more!
Flat headphones arent bad doh just saying
No they're not bad, they're better because you get to hear everything closer to how it was produced lol
MOSFET amplifiers of good quality will have the same characteristics as tubes. Both tube and MOSFET devices have very high input impedance, and much lower output impedance. Tubes (Called Valves in the UK) are higher in odd harmonic distortion compared to regular solid state devices such as transistors.
Most modern solid state amplifier devices of decent quality are using MOSFET devices for handling the audio path. MOSFET and tube devices tend to make for soft clipping in the case of peaks in the signal being slightly over modulated. This allows for some forgiving with distortion in the sound that is on the edge of clipping.
The sound from the tube amplifier may should wider because the dynamic range on the tube amplifier is very high. Also the designer may be using more inverse feedback in attempt to reduce harmonics, and increase slew rate.
The quality of the sound cannot exceed the source. If the source from the computer or CD player, or whatever is used has poor characteristics, this cannot be fixed. It may be possible to mask some distortions to some degree.
Just to mention... All sound that we can hear must be analog. Digital sound must be processed using a D to A converter (digital to audio converter). We cannot hear binary sound!
Tubes use high voltage to run. The heaters in the tubes boil off electrons from the cathode. Heater temperature can typically get up to 1200 F to 1400 F on the cathode. Depending on the required voltage for particular tubes and signal demand can be in the rage from about 160 volts up to over 600 Volts. Most pre-amp devices like the one shown may typically be working in the 350 Volt range.
The electrons are attracted to the high voltage at the plate. There is a control grid to act as a valve control to be able to modulate or control the electron flow along its path, and thus work as a valve to use the high voltage side to amplify the effect. Many types of tubes have additional grids such as a screen grid and an accelerator grid. These grids are used to boost and or control the electron flow even more. The design is complex to explain in a description.
If you have a tube amplifier and it requires service, send it out to a qualified service center. These are dangerous for the do-it-yourself-er to try to service, and most likely you will not have success unless you really know what you are doing and have the sources for replacement parts. The high voltage used in tube circuits can pack a decent punch, and can be "deadly".
I am sort of on the old side. Back in the 1960, I was working in audio and video, and power supply circuit design. Much of what I was working with in the lab was tube. during the late 60's they started with hybrid design where they were using both solid state and tube together to get the best of both. From my point of view the modern MOSFET and FET devices can do anything a tube can do. Using tubes is more of a novelty. Tubes over time will degrade and have to be replaced. Solid state devices will normally have very little degrading until they completely fail, or for some time before full failure.
These chinese "tube maps" is bordering a scam. rip it open and trace it out - In a lot of cases the tubs aren't even in the signal chain or used as a buffer in the preamp stage doing virtually nothing. Im not saying it's the case here but there's every reason to be skeptical. That aside, the whole premise of using tubes in hifi appliances is BS. Designing and producing good sounding tube amps is very very difficult. In most cases, modern mosfet tech is superior in every way.
The only sane appliance of tubes is in instrument amps.
For all the ppl buying into audiophoolery BS a tour in a professional recording studio would be an eye opener. You know whats better than 500 $ monster cables? 10 $ balanced XLR cables...
Thats BS, they used to sell kits you made yourself, back in the 80's
